COMPLETED. Help Needed for MARIS Family Arrival

[seahall]

Hi All.

I wondered if anyone could tell me if they can find the Maris Family who 
lived in England (Cambs) arriving in Australia in the early 1830-40's.

T.I.A.

Hi Sandy,
Now, as you would probably know by the number of postings you have made on the R. Chat boards, helpers need a bit of detailed information to work withif they are to make a successful search.

Perhaps you can kindly give a bit more

Hi Sue/Kriss.

Sorry not to have been more helpful.   

I mostly answer requests, rather than ask.

Kriss has certainly got the correct family.

I only have a genealogy report for the family, (although it is huge).

I do know that John Maris (father) married Catherine Cockerton.

Rebecca was from West Wratting, there was no mention of her father so thank you Kris for that.

I have quite a few more children being born in Ashfied and Tambaroora, NSW.

When I have pieced together the detailed information I require I will post more.

Thank you both for replying, greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I have some information on Richard John Maris whom I think was the first child born in Australia to this family.  His first wife died in Cobar and he married Mary Annie Allwood (nee Moore) in Bourke about 1884.  It was a bigamous marriage on her part as her husband John Joseph Allwood was still alive.

Hi Andcarred.

I wondered if you would like to P.M. me about the family you have listed.

I would be interested in them as I do have Richard as a son.

Hi Seahall,

Richard Maris was the son of  John and Rebecca Maris and was born at Five Dock Farm  in New South Wales.  He was baptised 15 August 1841 at St Johns Church at Ashfield.  Richard parents were immigrants from Linton, Cambridge, England, his mother was pregnant with him on the voyage out to New South Wales in 1841 on the ship "Susan". Richard was born 29 Jun 1841 at Five Dock Farm, three months after they arrived.

I have sent a pm.

Hi Andcarred. 

Thank you for listing the family for me with more details.

The known link I am working from is through John and Catherine's
(Cockerton) son Richard of 1822, brother to John of 1810 who sailed to Australia.

Thanks also for P.M. now replied also.

Hi Andcarred. 

I am not sure if you are having a problem sending the gedcom. 

I look forward to it in the near future, no worries if you have changed your mind.
